Simulacra Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDDE| Dark in the west the sunset's sombre wrack | A |
| Unrolled vast walls the rams of war had split | B |
| Along whose battlements the battle lit | B |
| Tempestuous beacons and with gates hurled back | A |
| A mighty city red with ruin and sack | A |
| Through burning breaches crumbling bit by bit | B |
| Showed where the God of Slaughter seemed to sit | B |
| With Conflagration glaring at each crack | A |
| Who knows perhaps as sleep unto us makes | C |
| Our dreams as real as our waking seems | D |
| With recollections time can not destroy | E |
| So in the mind of Nature now awakes | D |
| Haply some wilder memory and she dreams | D |
| The stormy story of the fall of Troy | E |
